CBS Chicago: IL Attorney General, DuPage County Prosecutor Sue Sterigenics Over Carcinogenic Emissions
CHICAGO (October 31, 2018) – Accusing a Willowbrook company of releasing dangerous levels of a carcinogenic gas into the air for more than a decade, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan and DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin are asking a judge to impose strict new limits on the plant, or shut it down altogether.
“There’s outrage in the community. This is now the 19th largest cancer cluster in the country. This is in the top one percentage for incidents of cancer and it is no coincidence,” Salvi, Schostok & Pritchard P.C. told CBS Chicago.
